Money hungry is the root of all evil it corrupts and brings down the soul and identity in the end!

This "TFTD" episode titled "Payment Overdue" is really one of the better ones not only for the way it takes a surprise identity twist in the end, and it proves it's moral that being money hungry corrupts the soul. Maura Swanson is Jeanette a single woman who lives in an upscale New York City apartment and she makes her living working behind the phone and her apartment desk. She's a collection agency type collector yet she runs schemes of printing false payments and overcharging and trying to charge items to customers as her main goal is to collect money from all. Yet it takes a strange turn when she tries to collect from a poor Spanish woman as soon the tables will strangely turn and an identity problem arises. Payback is hell and turn about is fair as the collection is now on Jeanette and the tables have turned. Great episode that teaches the moral that being money hungry destroys and corrupts the soul.
